A Poem

I said, "Let me walk in the field";God said, "No, walk in the town";I said, "there are no flowers there";He said, "No flowers, but a crown."

I said, "But the sky is black,There is nothing but noise and din";But He wept as He sent me back,"There is more," He said, "there is sin."

I said, "But the air is think,And smog is veiling the sun";He answered, "Yet souls are sick,And your work is yet undone."

I said, "I will miss the light,And friends will miss me, they say";He answered me, "Choose tonight,If I am to miss you, or they."

I pleaded for time to be given;He said, "Is it hard to decide?It will not seem hard in HeavenTo have followed the steps of your Guide."

I cast one look at the field,Then set my face to the town;He said, "My child, do you yield?Will you leave the flowers for the crown?"

Then into His hand went mine,And into my heart came He;And I walk in a light Divine,The path I had feared to see.

This was the poem in my devotional this morning and I wanted to share it with you. The devotional is Streams in the Desert by L.B. Cowman and it is really a good one if anyone is interested. I want to leave you with the two scriptures this morning. They really ministered to me and I hope they do to you as well!

I know, O Lord, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps. - Jeremiah 10:23

About Me

I am a princess! I have been married to the love of my life for 17 years. We have been blessed with 3 beautiful children. I am able to stay at home with them and train them in the ways of the Lord. I throw some school in there too ;) I never thought I would be where I am at today, but would not trade one moment of my life. My kids are teaching me to slow down and to enjoy the little things again. I love reading, and am learning to dance like David danced!
